John Lennon’s solo career was anything but predictable. From raw, deeply personal albums to some of the biggest-selling records of all time, his journey after The Beatles constantly shifted between experimentation and mainstream success. 🎸💿

In this video, we rank John Lennon’s solo albums based on sales, chart performance, and overall commercial impact. From the emotional weight of Plastic Ono Band to the worldwide success of Imagine and the legacy-defining release of Double Fantasy, we break down how each album performed and why. 🎹

We also explore how politics, controversy, nostalgia, and tragedy shaped the public reception of his music — and helped turn certain records into cultural landmarks.

Random thought for all the rock and retro movie fans here…

Should Guns N’ Roses have done the soundtrack for the He-Man / Masters of the Universe movie? ⚔️🎸

Seriously, imagine the energy of classic GNR mixed with the world of Eternia. “Welcome to the Jungle” during a battle scene, Slash absolutely destroying a guitar solo while He-Man charges into combat, or even “Paradise City” playing over an epic ending montage. It honestly feels like one of those missed 80s opportunities that could’ve become legendary.

The original movie already had that over-the-top fantasy vibe, but adding Guns N’ Roses could’ve pushed it into full cult-classic territory alongside some of the most iconic action/fantasy films of the era.

So what do you think?

• Would Guns N’ Roses have been the perfect fit?
• Which songs would work best?
• Would it have made the movie more successful?
• Or would another band have been better for a He-Man soundtrack?

Curious to hear everyone’s dream soundtrack picks for Masters of the Universe. 👇🔥
